Mario & Sonic platformer? Come on people. The platforming games are like East and West. The Kart racing games are much closer in terms of gameplay, and they both feel pretty different btw.
The lack of hype for the Wii U for Wii U already latched on to the other consoles (Not really latching, it's just less excitement for all of them). People actually think they mean big time trouble for Nintendo?
Most casual consumers will not see the point in buying a new console that has no obvious defining new features other than better graphics, and new games (Unless there's a crazy killer-app like Wii Sports).
I predict all 3 will have bad start due to the horrendous state of the economy, and perhaps lack of decent advertising and publishers being too afraid of putting games on there.
Why do people think that if it doesn't sell like the Wii, it'll sell like the gamecube?
Nintendo has gained tons of hardcore fans from the wii. Just ask on Miiverse what console people had during 6th gen, most I've asked said PS2, and no gamecube. How did they gain fans? Since the Wii was a must have, people who got PS2 and then got Wii (because they must've got what was hot at the time) and started to get much more attached to gaming.
It might sound like this has no significance, but I'm certain Nintendo has gained a plethora of new fans from the Wii, even of it meant losing some "hardcore dudebros real gamers".
@Olaf-symbiote Since when was Ubi a bad publisher? I know the released crappy games during 6th gen, and the Rayman delay was handled horribly, but aren't their game good? Rayman Origins is fantastic, and so far so is Rayman: Legends.
I can handle criticism, but this is just lies and exaggerations.
I don't even think that this can be stretched to even the broadest definition of opinion.
This is what he declares as fact. Yes, people say "this is good" as in "I like it" even though those are two different things. I don't know if he's getting paid or whatever, but these unprofessional comments were a completely stupid action to take. Not just opinion, I think people can generally agree with me on that.
@bassoongoon Today's Nintendo Direct was great, but some people were expecting something to blow them away like what the Earthbound vc and Zelda WWHD did.
The OS and design of it would probably be completely inaccurate if it happened. Just because they have that sort of arrangements and tradition now, does not mean it would carry on to a smartphone.
@RetroGBHippie92 It was a joke. The internet always assumes since I'm using satire I'm suddenly a troll.
So what if I use walkthroughs (I don't. Seriously, I don't, I'm speaking hypothetically)? Am I inferior to the race of humans that don't use walkthroughs, or the ones that were born in the 80's?
I was just commenting on the inconsiderate, and frankly ignorant comment that you made. Kids these days are not lazy, and kids these days are not stupid. You're not better than them. Just because they play less video games, and never played retro games like these does not make them inferior "gamers"
@DESS-M-8 But if the iOS devices market start going for hardcore gamers, and start making high-quality games, that's what people speculate will be the end of consoles.
@RetroGBHippie92 THESE KIDS ARE INFERIOR COMPARED TO MY CHILDHOOD! THOSE LAZY GOOD-FOR-NOTHING IDIOTS. WHEN I WAS A BOY, I FIGURED OUT MOST OF THE GAME MAHSELF. I ONLY USED DEM WALKTHROUGHS, AND GUIDES WHEN I NEEDED TO, NOT ALL THE TIME! STUPID KIDS, JUST USE LOGIC.
So much negativity in the comments. Don't you think you guys are being too hard on these guys. Not to mention this is only a select group, not all children have trouble with this genre.
They've never played this genre. The closest thing they might've played is Mario. You guys are acting like "DAY SUD NO GAMERING LOGIC BY NOW, DOSE NUMBSKULLS". Really? "Kid's these days sure are dumb"
Gaming Elitism.
These players are not you, they were not born during your time, they do not have your logic, and they haven't played this genre.
How can LP's be 10x harder than original content? Yes, playing a game takes time, but so does original content creation. Look at freddiew. His videos are original (yes, parodies included), and let's guess how hard that is.
We aren't freddiew, but surely we can also put as much hard work and quality into vids that aren't lp's.
"Physical releases on Nintendo are still the preferred option as most Nintendo consoles are still not connected to internet connections."
Didn't the official connection rate for the 3DS already say that over 50% of users connected to the net? Just saying. I suppose many users just don't use the e-shop much.
The control scheme, and not to mention they'll be no use of the 3D (Unless they use gamecube controls, which is limited compared to Wiimote and touchscreen controllers). An HDMI port would mess up the shape, and they'd have to make a new system entirely.
@Metal_Sonic Shin Megami Tensei: Overclocked, and the other Smt games? I'm not sure if you know that much about the library. Have you played Kid Icarus Uprising? Not to mention all the awesome indie games.
@jedisquidward You're joking right? My sense of irony is a bit low today so sorry if I get the wrong impression.
The glitch was that the game saw the male mii as a female mii. Male mii's would talk differently, and would get pregnant. I think it's okay if they fix that.

@lmac99 Not everyone likes fighting games. Peach64 never said it wasn't bad, though.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Smash Bros., 3D Mario and Mario Kart for E3 Nintendo Direct
@Dpullam Brawl is my favorite, even with the tripping.
Smash Bros. improves upon game upon game. Brawl made the gameplay much smoother and tighter than the last (Sakurai's just being a fanboy XP).

@Haxonberik Only one guy has actually said he didn't like it.

except they added tripping

I really want to see what Smash Bros. looks like in HD or 3D.

Put Waluigi back in Mario Kart, maybe even Nabbit.
I'd so be up for Double Dash 2.
